Definitely do not feed Randy Moss the ball 3 times, and don't give the ball to Vernon Davis twice.

In the Dolphins, Patriots, Cardinals, and Packers (playoffs) games, we went 4-0. Randy Moss had 2 catches. Davis had 1.

In the Rams and Seahawks games, we went 0-2. Moss had 3 catches. Davis had 2.

I'm convinced.

Seriously, though - what do people think are key in the next game? I think regardless of it being the Falcons or Seahawks, the biggest thing is going to be finding someone other than Michael Crabtree in the passing game wide receiver-wise. It'd REALLY be a great time for AJ Jenkins to show why he was drafted. Because if Crabtree gets shut down...uh oh._________________

OL domination, and running the ball. The running game opens up the passing game, Kap strikes a big play here and there, and we win. I don't think Atlanta's DL would overpower our OL, so we can establish what we want to do, dictate the tempo. The Seahawks DL would be tougher to dominate, so I hope we get the Falcons. We limited Brady, we limited Brees, we limited Rodgers, we can limit Ryan.

1. Stick with the run. Even if we have a rough start (which i sort of expect), and Atlanta scores right off the bat. I hate it when Harbaugh and Roman come out throwing three or four straight. It never seems to go well.

2. Who's our second receiver? Someone needs to step up (mainly because i'm tired of watching Kaep throw to walker only to have him drop it). But also because Kaep struggles just a bit it seems when Crabs is taken out of the game/play. Someone has to step up, and Kaep really needs to have a solid rapport with a secondary safety valve.

3. Time Management. I expect this game to be close, so it'd be nice if we didn't burn 2 or all 3 of our timeouts in the first quarter because of crowd noise. It's going to be loud; be prepared.

4. Try not to come out flat and win a third straight game for once this year.

Defensively:

1. Make Atlanta one dimensional. One dimensional teams with elite QB's have not fared well against us...teams that are balanced and can keep us on our toes have been successful against us.

2. Keep everything in front of you. Atlanta is going to score, there's no stopping that. but it doesn't matter how good your qb is; it is extremely difficult to lead 3 or 4 10+ play scoring drives in a game. Keep Roddy and Julio from breaking anything long.

3. No stupid penalties. We can theoretically put this for the entire team, but i think our defense suffers from more idiotic penalties than the offense does. Dashon, Brown, and Cox (if he plays) especially).

Special Teams:

1. Keep akers off the field as much as possible.

2. Make sure that no one can see when Andy Lee goes into the phone booth and turns into his Batman/Superman hybrid superhero._________________
